While the Minnesota Legislature failed to approve a budget prior to Monday’s adjournment of the 2025 legislative session, it did pass its cannabis omnibus bill over the weekend.
The bill, SF 2370, was approved by a conference committee with members of both the House and Senate before being passed by both chambers on Saturday. It is currently awaiting Gov. Tim Walz’s signature. The bill contained numerous language and technical fixes, a handful of law changes sought by the Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) and a range of other provisions introduced by lawmakers.
Still up in the air is a proposed increase of the state’s tax on sales of cannabis and hemp-derived cannabinoid products from 10% to 15% that was included in an agreement between Walz and leaders in the Minnesota House and Senate. The tax hike could be part of budget negotiations ahead of an expected special session, though it faces opposition from DFL Sen. Lindsey Port, a co-author of the cannabis bill, as well as Senate Republicans and many advocates.
Here is a brief overview of the bill’s key provisions by topic.
